COOPERSTOWN.
.An Excursion To the Romantic Scene
Depicted in COoper's Tales.

The early start of the Taliy-ho coaches
for this trip is one of the chief sensations
of the quiet village of Richield Springs.
The hustle 10 collect the laggards, the
Importance of the conductors and
drivers, the scramble up the ladders,
the ruses 20 get congenial seat-neigh-
bors, the fine spirits of everybody evok-
cd by the fresh morning air, and the
elevation on top of the coaches, give the
start an air of jolly adventure. Away
they go, the big red and yellow arks,
swinging over the hills and along the
wcll-watered valleys, past the twin lakes
to Otsego, over which hangs the TO
nance of 'Cooper's tales, where steam
or waits. This is one of the most charm
ing of the little lakes that dot the in
terror of New York; without bold shores
or anything sensational in its scenery,
it is poetic clement in refined and
lovely landscape. There arc few fish
ing lodges and summer cottages on its
banks Zone of them distinguished as
SINNERS Rest ),a and hotel or two
famous for dinnAs; but the traveller
would be repaid If there were nothing
except the lovely village of Cooperstown
embowered in naples ut the foot. The
town rises gently from the lake, and is
very picturesque with its church spires
and trees and handsome mansions; and
nothing could be prctticr than the fore
ground. the gardens. the aliees of will
lows, the long boat wharves with hun
dreds of rowboats and sail-boats. and
the exit Of the Susquehanna River,
which here swirls away under dropping
foliage, and begins its long journey to
the sea. The whole village has an air
of leisure and refinement For our
tourists the place was pervaded by the
spirit of the nccromancer who has woven
about it tho spell of romance; but to the
ordinary inhabitants the long residence
of the novelist here was not half so i'm

ed citizen who had made great fortune
out of some patent, built here a fine

is not so very many years since Cooper

a Dcluded AristOcrat.

n matrOn and u manageable daugh-
ter 'ofmy acquaintance have been stay
ing all summer at one of the largest
hotels. Mime. la Mere has long since
learned the charm there is to exclusive
ness. either real or apparent, and prac-
ticc it accordingly. During tho first
part of the summer they sat at table
quite alone by themselves, reserving all
sOciability for the drawing-room and
piazza. Several weeks ago, however,
the hotel became crowded, and the head
waiter asked of them permission to place
at their table new arrival for whom
they were anxious to make room. They
objected, but were too polite to say SO.
AT the next meal the new arrival made
his appearance. A most refined, re-
spectacle, but unassuming looking man.
After q few DAYS the mother allowed
herself to be drawn into desultory con-
versation, and tho daughter unbcnt as
well. Very soon inquiries began to be
made by other marriagcablc daughters
mammas, and then polite hints for in
Productions as well. Madame asserted
that she did not know his name. That
gave ,zest to the hunt She must find
out At dinner one night she said to
him that they hoped to meet him at the
shop" later'On; she would be glad to
present him to some pleasant people.
'"Tm very sorry, madame, but you
really must excuse me. am in deep
mourning and trouble, and do not feel
in the mood for gayctics.'
Naturally ''madamc" excused him
both to herself and to her friends, and
the manageable daughter mad it quite
her own way. Things went on smooth
ly enough, but very, very slightly. They
learned his name and called him by il,
but condolences went no further. So
beautifully behaved. SO refined, so un-
assuming he was that madame and
emademoiselle both became convinced
that he was infinitely better than he
seemed. One morning at breakfast
their table companion announced in
the quetest sort of way that he left that
day. His sad holiday was over, he said.
